So many things are on his mind
Yet that absorption makes him blind
Exasperation always shows
Tis often only way he knows
So dance I do on tenterhooks
To keep myself from side-glanced looks
When all that I should know is grace
But umbrage is what takes its place
Continue on with obligations
Hide I will all my frustrations
In hopes that at the end of day
A small fatigue is all I’ll pay
For there is so much more I’ve gained
From noble task I’ve been long chained
I’m taught to yield without a sound
A staunchness that’s not often found
A fortitude that few can rouse
Such depth subdues where doubts are housed
The freedom that atonement gives
Is lifelong gift like hidden bridge
That makes your journey that more light
No succor needs to make things right
And even if no end is near
I walk it without sweat or fear
I’ve given way, to rise above
And acquiesced with boundless love…
